Morkel and McKenzie both dropped, Smith out injured.

In comes Prince as Captain and he will open the batting most likely with another new comer in Khan and also added to the squad was Parnell. Albie Morkel a very good chance to take his brothers spot.


I think that Amla will slide up to open the batting


The South Africans have said they don't want to disrupt the middle order and that Prince will open. He has never opened in Test cricket but he will in the third test. Bad move IMHO. I'd either open Amla or deVilliers personally and leave Prince in the middle order where he has played all of his 47 Test matches.

I hope no one minds me bumping this thread (I can't believe some of the crap I dribbled!) and reminiscing this one.

But seriously, this was a great achievement by Australia to bounce back from losing to South Africa before this in Australia, and made most memorable by those two centuries by PJ Hughes
